A Los Angeles man has spent the last 20 years as a foster father to children he knows are going to die, but he takes them in anyway.Mohamed Bzeek, 62, has cared for the sickest of the sick in Los Angeles County's sprawling foster care system. Some have died in his arms.

有一名洛杉矶人,二十年如一日地领养晚期病重儿童,即便知道他们将不久于人世,他还是执意领养。他叫Mohamed Bzeek,现年62岁,在洛杉矶庞大的领养系统中领养病重患儿,有些在他的臂弯中离世。

Bzeek is the only foster parent in the county known to take in terminally ill children. He wants these children to know they're not alone in this life.He is currently caring for a girl born with an encephalocele, a rare malformation in which part of her brain protruded through an opening in her skull. She requires around-the-clock care. She has been in his care since she was a month old.

城中仅有他一人愿意领养这些孩子,他要让他们感觉到,他们在这世上并不孤单。 现在Bzeek照顾的这名患儿,有先天性脑病,她的脑干在卤门中突起,她需要昼夜护理,Bzeek 接手的时候她仅一个月大。

To avoid choking, the girl sleeps sitting up. Bzeek sleeps on a second couch next to hers. He doesn't sleep much."The key is, you have to love them like your own," Bzeek said. "I know they are sick. I know they are going to die. I do my best as a human being and leave the rest to God."

为了防止她噎住,这女孩儿是坐着睡觉的,Bzeek 睡在她旁边的沙发上,他睡得不多。他说,重点是你得待他们如己出,我知道他们病了,而且时间也不多了,但我会竭尽所能,剩下的事情就交给上帝了。
